\n
\n A Tier 1 firm is looking for a Commercial solicitor for a role that's at least 50% IP - a genuine mix of transactional and contentious work, and the best IP instructions coming through Scotland. You'll work directly with one of the most highly regarded IP Partners in the country.\n
\n
Why this role stands out:\n
    \n
  • The work - IP-heavy (50%+), spanning transactional and contentious matters. Genuinely unique for a TMT role in Scotland.
  • \n
  • The clients - an unrivalled client base including leading names in sports, food and drink, media and technology.
  • \n
  • The exposure - real emphasis on business development. Even as a junior, you'll regularly travel internationally to attend conferences and meet clients.
  • \n
Who this suits:\n

  • A Commercial & Tech solicitor ready to step up to a Tier 1 firm
  • \n
  • A TMT solicitor at a leading firm wanting a greater focus on IP
